New feature in Calibre

Calibre has a recent feature where a red box shows up on the botton right indicating progress of metadata downloading or polishing books etc. I have no real need for this and find it distracting!. Is there some way to disable this feature?

Thank you

Which OS, I've seen red progress bars on OSX/MacOS applications.

On Windows I see the silver spinning wheel that's been there 'forever' when a Job(s) is/are running.

Now I see, you can change the settings mentioned in the below posts, either in Calibre or on Windows Settings.

I prefer to disable the Windows setting.

(as for attaching images, when replying you might see the "Go advanced" button, then there is a paper clip icon...)

If you double click on an item you can 'fine-tune'.
